PL/I

"At first I hoped that such a technically unsound
project would collapse but I soon realized it was doomed
to success. Almost anything in software can be implemented,
sold, and even used given enough determination.
There is nothing a mere scientist can say that will
stand against the flood of a hundred million dollars. But
there is one quality that cannot be purchased in this
way--and that is reliability. The price of reliability is the
pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the
very rich find most hard to pay."

-- C. A. R. Hoare, describing the development of the PL/I
programming language

caption in rp's wz3 gallery.
